This study identifies a genomic region on chromosome Ra03 associated with primocane-fruiting in tetraploid blackberries and develops diagnostic markers for breeding.

This study presents a phased chromosome-level genome assembly of sweetpotato, revealing its origin from a wild tetraploid relative and identifying genetic relationships with other progenitors.

This paper develops the highest-density linkage map for hexaploid Urochloa humidicola, revealing genetic organization, apomixis, and polyploid origins using SNP markers.

The paper develops a workflow to improve linkage map construction from GBS data by evaluating and selecting dataset-independent genotype calling and mapping methods.

The paper constructs a genetic map and identifies QTL in a tetraploid potato population, finding co-located QTL for multiple traits on linkage group 5.

The paper identifies a QTL for common scab resistance in tetraploid potatoes using a full-sib population across multiple environments.

The paper introduces fullsibQTL, an R package for QTL mapping in outcrossing species, which considers multilocus genetic maps and different segregation patterns.

This study evaluates the impact of sequencing depth, marker number, and genetic models on genomic selection accuracy in autopolyploid crops, finding that fewer SNPs and additive models are sufficient for most traits.

This paper develops a random-effect model for QTL mapping in autopolyploid sweetpotato, identifying 41 QTL across eight yield traits in a full-sib population.

This study constructs an ultra-dense genetic map for hexaploid sweetpotato and characterizes its inheritance system using a new software tool.

The paper develops a hidden Markov model-based method to estimate recombination fractions and infer linkage phases in autopolyploid species with high ploidy levels using simulated and real data.
